The Altar of Flaws (不完全の祭壇)

[Intro]
Nana-tsu no kage, mune o sasu.
The pulse of hunger, the fever of pride.
It’s the beast we keep inside.
[Verse 1]
First, the Pride that builds a throne of lies,
Then Envy watching with those hollow eyes.
Wrath like a wildfire, burning the skin,
While Sloth lets the rot of the soul begin.
Yokubou no uzu, keshite yamanai.
[Rap Section]
Check the list, yeah, the list of the fallen,
Can’t you hear the voice of the decadence callin’?
Gluttony feeding on the ghost of a dream,
Greed in the veins, yeah, it’s making you scream!
Lust in the shadows, a desperate touch,
Why do we always want way too much?
Kizuite-nai no ka? Sono te no kegare,
Kamen no ura de, hito wa oboreru!
We’re building a tower of vanity high,
Just to be closer to a hollow sky!
[Verse 2]
It’s getting louder, the weight of the sin,
Where does the man end and the demon begin?
Hito wa naze, onaji machigai o kurikaesu?
We wear the thorns upon our brow.
[Chorus]
Break the cycle, kabe o uchiyabure!
Face the reflection, kako o nugi-sutete!
We are the monsters, we are the saints,
Living in a canvas of beautiful complaints!
Majiwaru hikari to, fukai yami no naka de!
We chase the perfection we can’t even hold,
Selling our souls for a story untold!
[Symphonic Melody Section]
(Orchestral transition: Solo violin and cathedral choir rise in a grand, wordless lament.)
[Bridge]
Dakedo, boku-tachi wa...
Intended or not, the shadows will fall,
Knowing or blind, we answer the call.
To be human is to stumble, to break, and to fall,
For imperfection is the greatest truth of all.
Fukanzen dakara koso, inori wa umareru.
[Outro]
Wash away the dust, let the water run clear,
Whispering a plea that only the silence can hear.
Tsumi o daiten, mata aruki-dasu.
With every breath, a prayer for a new start,
To cleanse the temple of a broken heart.
Kiyome no ame ni, mi o makasete.
Asu e, tsunagu.
